A woman fruit vendor in Pakistan got a surprise customer - it was none other than the UAE ambassador to Pakistan.
Earlier, Jalal Sherazi, speaker of the House at Provincial Youth Assembly, detailed the fruit vendor's plight of selling fruits because her husband had passed away. The tweet read: "She is Yasmeen, she has three daughters and a son studying in class 2 and her husband died. As she has no other option, she is struggling to feed her kids."
